Superfarmer

There are about 500 million small scale farmers in the world. Life as a small scale farmer can be difficult. Many small scale farmers are poor and live under harsh conditions. Out of the 842 million people living with hunger today an alarmingly high proportion are farmers themselves. As the climate is changing it is getting worse. Unpredictable weather with too little or too much rain, droughts and hurricanes are all factors that the farmer must address. If we want to end world hunger, combat poverty and climate change it is vital that we focus on the small scale farmers – all over the world. The Superfarmer is tomorrow’s superhero!
